[TR] painting/cage nuts

[MMoore8425 at aol.com]

On the four British cars I've restored, I've learned to a run a sharp  new 
tap through all tapped holes before I start to assemble. of course, I use  
oil on the tap.
 
I try to avoid any and all oil on the car when I have it painted. I would  
not want globs of vaseline in the paint!
I think I once put screws in the holes, but they had a an unpainted  rim I 
didn't care for, and i STILL had to run the tap through afterwards.
